Doctrinal Statement WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired, infallible (unalterable) Word of God written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. WE BELIEVE in one God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent. We believe that he was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as Holy Spirit in His comforting grace that never leaves those who trust Him. WE BELIEVE that in Jesus dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell. WE BELIEVE in the Virgin Birth; Jesus was both human and divine; He was God manifested in the flesh. WE BELIEVE in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that He ascended on high and has sent His spirit, that Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem over 1900 years ago, and it is this same Spirit that is filling the hearts of those who diligently seek HIM today. WE BELIEVE in baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth. WE BELIEVE in a holy, sanctified life. We believe in divine healing, communion and foot washing. We believe also in the glorious catching away (the Rapture) of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds in glory to take His people to Heaven. OUR CHIEF AIM is to glorify our Savior, who is Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Jacob s Ladder Mission Statement Sacrifice Obedience Commitment Church Purpose: I would like everyone at Jacob s Ladder to k now that we are here in the State of California to promote the Kingdom of God and to recruit souls of men and women of all walks of life into this glorious Kingdom. With this truth established, our primary objective is saving the lost souls, the preservation of the saved soul, and the consecration of the new man in Christ. Our tools to reach our objectives are basically as follows: Repentance from a sinful Life; Water baptism in the name of Jesus The baptism of the Holy Ghost; Educating the lost with the Word; and Referral resources for those that have special needs. With this in mind, I would like for you all to know that I have sought the Lord for approval to expand the operation here at Jacob s Ladder. As your Pastor, it is my desire to acquire a church edifice with a seating capacity suitable for our membership. This will require for us to take this present vision and organize it into a three million dollar project. In closing, I invite any ideas or suggestions to make the vision a reality. In Jesus name, God bless Pastor Robert Douglas
Unfolding The Rosebud Order of Service It is only a tiny rosebud, A flower of God s design But I cannot unfold the petals With these clumsy hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to you and I. God opens this flower so sweetly, When in my hands they fade and die. If I cannot unfold a rosebud, This flower of God s design, Then how can I think I have wisdom To unfold this life of mine? So I ll trust in Him for His leading Each moment of every day. I will look to Him for His guidance Each step of the pilgrim way. The pathway that lies before me, Only my Heavenly Father knows. I ll trust Him to unfold the moments, Just as He unfolds the rose.

Welcome You did not come to this church by accident. Perhaps a friend or family member invited you. You are not here by choice; you came into this church because the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ called you here today. This is an Apostolic church and our Pastor preaches salvation. Acts 2:38 states that we must repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Apostolic Doctrine means that in order to be born again, you must be baptized of the water and the Spirit (John 3:5). We pray that you enjoy service today and that you may be touched by the Spirit of the Lord. If you would like more information on the Apostolic Doctrine, please feel free to contact our Suffragan Bishop Robert T. Douglas, PhD. Stand in Faith Even when you can t see your way Even when you feel like you can t face another day Even when the tears want to flow from your eyes Knowing that our God will always provide Even when you feel that all hope is gone Knowing that He is always there for you to lean on Even when you feel like giving up Because He is there... saying, "Just look up" Even in those times you feel so all alone Hold on and be strong, for He is still on the throne Even when it s hard to believe Stand in Faith Knowing that He can change your situation, suddenly Weekly Scripture: A Life Pleasing to God For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Romans 14:17-19 NIV Even in those times you feel it s hard to pray And believe that He has already made the way Faith... is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen So stand in faith Because you already have the victory!
